“There’s a lot of art happening and you get to see a tremendous
amount of variety and there’s also going to be a lot of variety amongst
the models as well. Every challenge that Skin Wars put together was
really kind of crazy and it would push the artist to extremes… Sometimes
they don’t have enough sleep, they don’t have enough food, not enough
breaks. “

“Louisiana is an amazing place for this particular art form and I
believe it connects to our Carnival heritage. The art comes to the
artist in a sense, it’s beautiful and of course there’s the joy of
working with the three-dimensional body.”

There’s no such thing as a blank canvas each and every model’s skin
already tells a tale. It’s up to the artist to fill in the gaps with
creativity and imagination.

“Painting on a human being is so different from painting on wood,
canvas, glass any kind of metal. Nothing else is alive and has what
human beings have to offer. Anyone who watches the show, you will not be
bored.”
